I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 262 [Silence is the norm]

In the dim auditorium, only the faint fluorescent screen provided an extremely weak light source.

Along with the appearance of the dragon logo, a woman who looked a bit 'dirty' appeared on the screen.

Dirty does not mean how ragged her clothes are, nor how sloppy her hair is.

On the contrary, she is very well-dressed, and even her hair, which is dyed with a gradient of black and brown, is very layered. However, when such a person appears on the screen, she gives people a very gloomy and depressed look. visual sense.

It was as if she was not actually dressed very fashionably and elegantly, but was instead a greasy homegirl who hadn't been out for more than a month and a half, hadn't even taken a shower.

In the venue, many spectators nodded secretly.

There is a high probability that those who can come here to attend the premiere are no longer ordinary viewers.

In addition to some people who bought scalper tickets in order to see Lu Zhengyi, there are also some who are professional film critics or more enthusiastic horror fans.

Their vision is higher than that of ordinary viewers, and it can be said that they are more picky.

Normally, in addition to internal conditions such as their own sense of belief and acting skills, actors also need to rely on external factors such as makeup, clothing, etc., in order to better highlight the emotions and personality of a character.

For example, a person in a high position always wears a suit and tie, while a person who is down and out or has suffered a blow will start to show careless details such as an unshaved beard and a greasy face to highlight his or her situation.

But in this way, many characters appear to be somewhat homogeneous.

They are obviously characters from different works, but people can always find similarities in them.

As for who is good and who is bad under the same face, and who can be remembered and praised more, it depends on who is the senior and who is more capable.

And fewer actors can do it. Even if they are wearing an image that does not match the character, they can still express the character's personality through their own internal conditions.

This kind of interpretation can make the characters more three-dimensional and real.

After all, in reality, people are either glamorous or rich, and people who are either down and out are miserable.

That person wearing flip-flops and dressed like a homeless person may have more than a dozen properties under his name, and he can just rely on collecting rent for his whole life without having to work at all.

And now, the woman who just appeared on the screen is like this.

The glamorous dress did not give her a domineering feeling. Instead, her demeanor, body movements, camera shooting techniques, lighting, and post-processing filters made her look gloomy.

Lu Zhengyi's requirements for actors are as strict as ever.

The audience of the "Lu Family Class" who had originally identified those "familiar faces" such as Chang Zhengwei, Zhang Yuming, Yu Wenxiu... began to pay attention to the performance of this "newcomer".

'Looks pretty good. ’

At the end of the auditorium, the creative team including Lu Zhengyi did not wait in the lounge, but quietly entered the venue to watch the movie with the audience.

Especially the two leading actors Huang Yunli and Zhou Ziyun, their attention is not on the film at all, but on the entire audience.

Every time an audience member inadvertently raises their hand, or changes their sitting position due to discomfort, a thoughtful look appears on their face.

It seems that they are thinking whether they are dissatisfied with the performance of this section.

This scene reminded Lu Zhengyi of the time when "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" was released, and a group of them sat in the corner like this, staring at the others without blinking.

If screen debut refers to the first time as a starring role, this is probably the debut for both of them.

Going forward, although Zhou Ziyun and Huang Yunli have also appeared on the big screen, they are basically supporting roles with little role.

But this time they appeared as the leading actors, and any performance in the film would affect the overall quality of the film, so they were extremely nervous.

"what!"

With a scream, Zhang Xin, as the heroine, saw a ghost for the first time in the film. ’

When she faced the ghost figure and climbed onto the kitchen stove in a panic, stepping on the broken glass, the audience in the auditorium gradually stopped making unnecessary movements such as drinking milk tea, changing sitting positions, eating... One held his breath and stared at the screen.

‘This is seen through. ’

As a 'senior director', Lu Zhengyi looked at them and knew clearly that they had begun to immerse themselves in the horror atmosphere created by the crew.

As long as they watch it, as the plot develops, they will quickly feel the charm of this movie.

It was a depressing and warm feeling.

"Are you willing to believe me? Zhang Xin, everything you see is just your brain deceiving you."

"There are no ghosts in this world, and there is no situation where what you see is the truth."

"You don't have yin and yang eyes. What you see is just an illusion. It is an illusion that you have suppressed your heart for a long time. I am not just a doctor, I am still your friend now. Are you willing to believe me?"

……

"Dr. Luo, how should I overcome these hallucinations?"

"Thank you. I feel a lot more relaxed after getting to know you."

"Maybe, can I just call you Luo Zhan?"

……

"Luo Zhan, Luo Zhan! Wake up!"

"There are no ghosts in this world, Luo Zhan!"

"Don't be afraid. Those are all fake. I have seen them before, so I can understand how you feel now. Those are all fake. You are a doctor. You know better than me how to explain and solve this situation. The problem with you, you..."

When the identities of the patient and the doctor are interchanged in the film, an absurd sense of déjà vu appears.

Even a very famous psychiatrist does not know how to help himself when he himself has a mental condition.

‘So this is a romance film? Redemption between two psychopaths. ’

And when all the viewers thought that this was a story about mentally ill people comforting each other.

On the screen, behind Zhang Xin who was facing Luo Zhan, a pale palm suddenly stretched out and caressed her cheek.

Although there was only one pale hand and not even a grimace, when the sharp nails fell on her face, all the viewers couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Under the close-up shot, every audience member could clearly see that Zhang Xin's face, filled with anxiety and pity, suddenly stopped and became extremely stiff.

Her eyes widened unconsciously, with emotions of horror and disbelief emerging at the same time.

It seemed that she could also feel the hand caressing her cheek.

‘Isn’t this an illusion? ’

Lu Zhengyi couldn't help but smile. He could feel that such words would definitely come out of the hearts of those in the audience.

"Go away!"

There was no picture of Luo Zhan in the camera, only his roar.

Then, from the edge of the close-up, a rolling figure escaped from the side.

In the camera, only Zhang Xin was left standing there blankly. She did not get up and continue chasing Luo Zhan as urgently as before, but just stood there, motionless.

"Treat a disease? I have a psychiatrist who is sick, how do I know how to treat it!"

"Control myself? How can I control myself!"

"Now that ghost is standing there, how can I cure it? I told her, I'm sorry, it's my fault, please let me go?"

The next scene is Luo Zhan's one-man show.

He climbed up to the rooftop alone and vented his emotions hysterically.

His fear, his anger, his helplessness... From his demeanor to his body and language, he poured his emotions into the hearts of the audience without reservation.

And as the camera keeps getting closer, the audience seems to feel like they have become the 'ghost', approaching him step by step.

The film only has a small part of the sound effects support, and for most of it, Lu Zhengyi followed the shooting style of The Grudge and processed it with the original sound.

So at this time, except for Luo Zhan's hysterical roar and the whistling wind in the movie, it was as quiet as if there was no one there.

Even the sound of breathing was extremely weak.

"I'll put my words here today. If you are really a ghost, just push me down."

"But if you are hallucinating, from today on, I will no longer be afraid of you!"

"come!"

In the video, as Luo Zhan roars one after another, the camera has completely come to him.

At this time, he was looking at the camera, and every word he said seemed to be speaking to the audience outside the camera.

The next moment, the pale palm appeared again.

At this moment, even the faint sound of breathing disappeared in the theater!

Their feeling is correct, this perspective is the perspective of a ghost!
  They are ghosts!
  And the moment the thin, bloodless palm was pushed toward Luo Zhan, the film officially ended.

Lu Zhengyi's movies have always silenced the audience.

After watching the movie, the audience seemed to have their mouths sealed.

Of course, even the body was glued to the chair.

When the names and positions of the creative team appeared at the end of the film, and the small lights above the theater came on, no one in the audience stood up, let alone spoke.

"So, are you...satisfied?"

As a newcomer participating in the premiere for the first time, Huang Yunli has relatively little experience.

And because the movie was over, she no longer had to worry about ruining the movie-watching atmosphere, so she wanted to ask the people next to her in an extremely low voice.

But in the extremely quiet theater now, Huang Yunli's voice sounded clear no matter how weak it was.

In an instant, almost everyone in the audience in front turned around and looked over with expressionless expressions on their pale faces.

This time, Huang Yunli was frightened.

"Hahaha, everyone seems very satisfied."

Lu Zhengyi, who was already accustomed to such scenes, stood up and said hello, "Hello everyone, I am Lu Zhengyi, the director of Alien Space."

audience:"……"

After a few seconds of sudden silence, their expressionless faces finally regained expression.

"Director Lu, you said before that this was a romance film?"

"No, Director Lu, will Luo Zhan die in the end?"

"Luo Zhan must have seen a ghost, right?"

"You can still laugh, Director Lu."

"I'm really convinced, Director Lu, you have to be responsible if I don't dare to go home alone later!"

Immediately afterwards, noisy voices finally sounded in the theater.

They were all complaining and questioning Lu Zhengyi because of the movie just now.

Is this a romantic film?
  There was no tenderness at all throughout the whole process. They just felt depressed and uncomfortable after watching it!
  "Wait a moment."

Lu Zhengyi quickly motioned to them to be calm, and even without a microphone, his voice reached everyone's ears clearly, "Everyone's questions are the theme of our next interactive session, and now I answer them, Then it won’t be a quiet moment later.”

"If we need to leave early, or if we need to use the restroom, we can leave through the aisle on the other side. Before leaving, please tell the staff at the door that we have a special link here."

"For those who don't need it, please wait for a few minutes at your seat. Our staff will arrange to start as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he led the others to get up from their seats and walked forward in the aisle.

Outside the auditorium, theater staff had already rushed in one after another. While preparing the stage, some people began to stand up in the aisles to maintain order.

At the same time, some media reporters began to enter the venue and set up their cameras between the stage and the auditorium.

The whole preparation process was very fast, probably because Lu Zhengyi's current reputation is different from that of the previous premiere of The First Commandment, or because Light and Shadow Media has now developed into Light and Shadow Group, and the theaters are very careful about their activities. Pay attention to.

At least in terms of staffing and equipment specifications, it has far exceeded before.

"Test test."

The screen where the movie was previously played has now entered a live broadcast room on the Shark Live Platform.

Lu Zhengyi said hello to the camera used for live broadcast.

Inside, the barrages were already densely packed, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Then, our premiere event will begin."

After Lu Zhengyi simply confirmed that the live video was clear enough, he faced the audience below and the live camera and picked up the microphone, "But before we start, as a director and investor, there is one thing I need to tell you. Please explain."

"I heard that our movie tickets are sold for hundreds or thousands of dollars online, right?"

"How should I put it? What an honor. The horror film produced by our crew will one day cause such a big response. As a director, I, on behalf of our entire crew, would like to thank the audiences who love horror movies for their support."

With that said, he bowed towards the camera.

"However, we are actually quite distressed about this situation, because how can movie tickets costing a few dozen yuan be sold for hundreds or thousands."

“So after I discussed it with other investors, we made a decision. After the event is over, everyone can provide their message records and transfer records for purchasing movie tickets... We will arrange special personnel here to transfer the additional money. The money paid will be reimbursed as an apology from our event party."

“We didn’t consider the current situation well and launched such an event hastily. But in the future, I think we will hold less similar events, or we will try our best to carry out events in a free way. , such as the online premiere interactive session, try to prevent some opportunistic people from taking advantage of our love for horror movies to make profits in the process."
